In 1957, two of the world’s most iconic actresses, Sophia Loren and Jayne Mansfield, met for a dinner at an exclusive Beverly Hills restaurant, Romanoff’s. It is widely known that the two women were rivals, and this dinner was a rare chance for them to finally meet face-to-face.
The two women discussed everything from their respective careers to the latest Hollywood gossip. However, their conversation was interrupted when a fan of Loren’s asked for her autograph and Mansfield replied “Oh, I know who you want! She’s the one with the big bosoms!” This was a reference to Mansfield’s iconic curves and the two women shared a laugh.
This dinner in California marked the first and only time that the two actresses met in person. From that moment on, their respective careers would continue to intertwine. Although their rivalry was never forgotten, it also served as a reminder of the immense talent and charisma that both women possessed.
